T-Rex: I don't like it when something bad happens. Well, IN PARTICULAR, I don't like it when something bad happens and people say that "there's a reason" for it happening!
T-Rex: It turns bad things into a value proposition!
T-Rex: I'm all for optimism and for comforting people, so it's not TERRIBLE, but I've always read the phrase as saying "you're sad because you got a raw deal, but ACTUALLY things will be better in the future because of this event, so you're coming out on top!" It seems very - capitalistic, I guess? Like I would want to be comforted by being told that, despite appearances, I'm actually a savvy businessman?
Utahraptor: I think the phrase is more to try to find sense to a senseless loss, T-Rex.
T-Rex: I guess.
T-Rex: And I get that it's meant to comfort, and I respect that! I just don't like how it implies I'm sad because of a bad deal. I'm sad for the loss, you know?
Utahraptor: What brought this on? Have you suffered any losses lately?
T-Rex: Just one...!
Narrator: EARLIER:
T-Rex: God, where the heck are my socks?! I can't find any of my socks.
God: THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON T-REX
T-Rex: Hey, God?
T-Rex: SOCKS PLEASE
